7 Weeks
October 11th - November 22nd
Sundays, 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Our Documentary Filmmaking I is a 7-week course for teenagers with some basic experience in filmmaking, whether they’ve attended one of our classes, camps, or workshops or not, that allows them to explore the art and craft of non-fiction/documentary filmmaking! Our expert instructor and industry guests will teach students the techniques and tools to craft films from their lives that they can share with a global audience.
Each student will write, produce, and edit a short film on a topic of their choice, using the skills they learn in class. By the end of the course, they will have a completed project that reflects how these new tools and techniques reflect their individual voice, and be prepared for Documentary Filmmaking II (in the early spring).
Students will gain hands-on experience using our camera, lenses, lighting, green screen, and sound kits, as well as access to a recording studio and editing computers equipped with Adobe Creative Suite and other software. But most of their filming and editing will take place outside of class time, given the nature of documentary filmmaking, so they should be prepared to use their smartphones or other filmmaking gear they have access to.
The Documentary Filmmaking courses conclude with an opportunity for students to premiere their work in a supportive, collaborative atmosphere during our Spring Showcase, celebrating their accomplishments.
If you’re looking to dive into the art of documentary filmmaking, there’s no better place to get started than with this class, no matter your skill level.
This course is designed for older teenagers aged 14 -18 with some basic filmmaking experience.
